we know three big things about romney's plan. one. he wants to cut tax rates and pay for it by closing loopholes. two. he wants to increase defense spending by about $2 trillion over ten years. and three, he says he'll balance the budget at the end of his second term. let's start with the tax cuts. >> i want to bring down rates. want to bring the rates down, at the same time, lower deductions and credits so we keep getting the revenue we need. >> romney's across the board tax cut of 20% is $5 trillion worth. now, romney plans to close loophole to pay for it. we just don't know which wups, so we had to take some liberties on the map here. the joint committee on taxation did one test study and i have it right here. keep in mind, this was done based on current law, which assumes the bush tax cuts expire at the end of the year. they concluded that revenue neutral tax reform would permit a 4% decrease in all ordinary income tax rates. now, that's not close to 20%. now, let's get to the second thing. adding more than $2 trillion to defense

romney at 206. the magic number is 270 and to that end, there is good news for president obama and not so good news for mitt romney in the buckeye state. ohio is home to 18 electoral votes and a new poll out tonight shows president obama leading there by five points over mitt romney. 49-44 and among those who have already voted because there's early voting going on, this is pretty incredible, obama has a 2-1 lead over romney, 60-30%. but on voters who have yet to cast their ballot, candidates are running dead even. 45-45. that is really difficult for mitt romney. if the overall ohio numbers hold, can romney become the first republican to win the oval office without ohio? "outfront" tonight, one of romney's competitors, rick santorum, author of "american patriots." great to see you. appreciate you taking the time. do you think mitt romney can make history and win the white house if he doesn't win ohio? >> certainly the numbers add up in winning other states. i don't think governor romney is conceding

that's what sets mitt romney back. he has the $5 trillion in tax cuts and then calls for $2 trillion of the defense department doesn't even ask for. so he builds another $7 trillion whole before you even get started. erin, you covered a lot of territory in the lead-in. i would just say, budgets are always compared to what? and the committee for responsible federal budget, which is the leading to fix the debt campaign, did analysis in february of the president's budget plan and the romney budget plan. and they found that the romney budget plan would explode the deficit much more than the president's plan, which brings the deficits under control, under 3% of gdp, by the tenth year, stabilizes the debt to gdp ratio and gets this you said control. whereas the romney plan, according to the folks who are leading the fix the debt campaign, explodes the debt in comparison. >> what about the cbo, they scored the president's plan over that ten-year period. this year, through 2022. and they say the budget would be $6.4 trillion,

the president leads at 237 to romney's 191. one state crucial to both campaigns is virginia, which is where we find our chief national correspondent, john king, tonight. and john, let's go through this from each side. first of all, what's the obama path to victory? >> reporter:el with, if you start, erin, 237 strong other leaning his way. let's assume nothing else on the map changes. the president could get it just by camping out in the midwest. if he wins iowa, wisconsin and ohio, that's 34 right there. that would get him to 271. so that's the president's most obvious path. get it out in the heartland in the midwest. iowa, though, is a pretty close state. if the president can't get iowa, he'll have to look for a backup plan. he would probably look to the midwest. >> what about mitt romney? that seems to be more -- a more convoluted path at the least, right? >> reporter: well, it's harder, because he starts at 191, not 237. so simple math tells you, he's got a harder path to get there. here's how he gets there. number one, he n

what mitt romney says about ships and the navy is foolish. the notion that you can measure the strength of our navy by lining up all of our ships in the harbor and counting them is silly. on the issue of whether or not these debates are about finding common ground, you know, being commander in chief is about providing leadership. it's not necessarily about providing common ground. it's about providing a clear direction. mitt romney's problem is that he's never been able to do that. >> quick final word. >> you know, i think that's a silly argument. i think we've got to have a president who can find common ground, move us forward. that's the whole problem with washington. and i think mitt romney has demonstrated he knows how to do it. >> thanks very much to both of you. we will see, two weeks to go.
